NEW YORK (AP) Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice says he's not speaking out against domestic violence as a way to rejoin the NFL.

Appearing Tuesday in a "CBS This Morning" interview with his wife, Janay, Rice said he sees similarities with himself after a video showed Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt shoving and kicking a woman at a hotel last month. Hunt was released by the Chiefs.

"Well, obviously, you know, you look back and you see the similarities," Rice said. "Early on you could feel like `Why they keep bringing my name up?' You can make excuses or you can actually do the hard work," Rice said.
